Hi Paul, all BeoCenter 6 tvs are HD ready, they have DVI and component inputs and run up to 720p I believe

ahhh martin - thnanks - i didnt realise this..i guess i assumed cos it was only 720p it was not HD ready.

Can i ask then, if it is HD ready, why do i not get better reception on HD channels like on my Beovision 7-40....when i flick between BBC1 HD and thre normal BBC1, i see no discernable difference....however, on my Beovision 7-40, its a huge difference.

what does this HD 720p ready mean in that case?  how can i get better image on BBC1 HD....

Cheers

Is the stb connected directly to the bc6, or are you watching sources connected to the 7-40 via the rf link?

If you are watching in a link room then the picture is downscaled and sent over rf.  you will see no difference between ad and hd channels.

If you have a D tuner connected locally to the 6-26, then you need to make sure it's connected via dvi.  To be honest, even if it is, you are unlikely to notice a difference between ad and hd unless you are sitting about 3 feet from the screen.

Maybe a call to your dealer to explain how it's been set up, and see if it can be altered in some way so you feel like you are getting more from it.

purely a function of panel size - i think, this has been covered previously, i have a 7-32 and there is also little difference picture wise (on satellite transmission)

Told by BnO Shrewsbury 3 years ago HD comes into its own with larger panels ie above 32"
